You can't add cellular to an apple watch,you have to buy the apple watch model with cellular built in,it's not something you can add on.

1.GPS only version and

2.GPS +CELLULAR version.

The Watch comes in two versions; non-cellular and cellular. If you didn't buy a cellular watch, it won't have it!


However, you can make phone calls from the watch using the Phone app on your watch. These calls are routed through your iPhone that the watch is paired to.
